    Hi
    recently, i noticed something about this add-on.
    in browser’s inspect tools, if you change the class of a div to a class that registered for link trigger on admin, and click on the link, points will apply to user account
    how to prevent this ?!

  • Hi @artanroshani !

    I would be more than happy to assist you today.

    I recommend you to change the requirement, instead of putting it to click on any link, change it to be by class or by ID.

    This way the “hacker” who tries to earn points this way will not work.
    For it to work he would have to define the same class or the same ID configured in the requirement.

    Hope it helps!

    Hi @pacogon
    Thank you for your answer
    I did it exactly the same way, define unique class in requirements,
    But the problem still persists
    Maybe not everyone knows this, But surely people with a little more knowledge will realize this, And maybe they use this way to cheat

    Hi @artanroshani!

    If you configure the requirements with an ID or class, the “hackers” will not be able to gain anything unless they put the same ID or class.

    Our add-on works with any element with the gamipress-link class because it is designed to work even with elements that are loaded from ajax, but if for example you put the requirement that rewards for clicking by ID and for the ID you put “this-is-the-id-that-will-rewards-10-points” hardly a hacker is going to discover it because he has to put that class and exactly the same ID.

    Hope it helps!
